Default Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Flying Leap and Power Blow

They featured strongly in Cherry Blossom Rain, especially Power Blow, but we had at least one character deeply focused on Flying Leap (it does triple damage!).

Flying Leap can be made much more readily accessible if you gain the bonuses to skill for waiving the damage bonus and the triple distance in favor of double distance.

As for Power Blow, I used a skills-for-all-powers system, and Power Blow became the "core skill" for most External Chi powers. Skill with Power Blow represented your ability to violently express your chi, thus a character with Power Blow 12-15 still got quite some use out of it, despite rarely having a chance to hit someone in the face with it.
